MySQL How do I ignore certain dir while using find? solved.
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie.
I've got a problem while using find.
I know there is a way to do it in man find which is something like

find . -wholename './src/emacs' -prune -o -print

it works but i also want to use -daystart, -mtime, -type on it and i dont know whats the sequence of these should be.

i've tried like

find . -wholename './src/emacs' -prune -mtime 10 -type f -o -print

but it doesnt work, -mtime and -type doesnt perform anything here.
and im not quite understand whats that -o and -print for in here.

many thanks.

=========================

solved. find . -path './src/emacs' -prune -o -mtime 10 -type f -print
-o is quite important >_<

bup-drecurse

bup-drecurse(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   bup-drecurse(1)

NAME

       bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       bup drecurse [-x] [-q] [--exclude path] [--exclude-from filename] [--profile] <path>

DESCRIPTION

       bup drecurse traverses files in the filesystem in a way similar to find(1).  In most cases, you should use find(1) instead.

       This program is useful mainly for testing the file traversal algorithm used in bup-index(1).

       Note  that filenames are returned in reverse alphabetical order, as in bup-index(1).  This is important because you can't generate the hash
       of a parent directory until you have generated the hashes of all its children.  When listing files in reverse order, the  parent  directory
       will come after its children, making this easy.

OPTIONS

       -x, --xdev, --one-file-system
	      don't cross filesystem boundaries.

       -q, --quiet
	      don't print filenames as they are encountered.  Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.

       --exclude=path
	      a path to exclude from the backup (can be used more than once)

       --exclude-from=filename
	      a file that contains exclude paths (can be used more than once)

       --profile
	      print profiling information upon completion.  Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.

EXAMPLE

	      bup drecurse -x /
